This workshop focuses on applying the Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership approach to annual review. In US higher education today, there is often a misalignment between work that is most meaningful to faculty and the work that is incentivized and rewarded.  The Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership (CPIL) initiative is designed to be a course correction for university culture, transforming the ways that academic work is valued by shifting focus from teaching, research, service to the high impact human-centered ends toward which these activities are directed: sharing knowledge, expanding opportunity, mentorship and stewardship. 
 
This initiative empowers higher education to recognize and reward a wider diversity of activities as valuable work aligned with the individual values of faculty and the core values of institutions. Following the HuMetrics approach, alternate metrics adopted by respective scholarly communities of practice establish the impact and excellence of this rigorous academic work. As such the CPIL initiative is a framework, and a structured process of evaluation designed to recognize the work of all members of the academic community as integral to the university’s vital mission.
